On 20 October 2026 in Karachi, Pakistan, Novo Pakistan announced it is increasing its efforts to help diabetes patients maintain their treatment schedules amid worries about insulin availability. Collaborating with various partners, the firm aims to sustain consistent therapy options, acknowledging the vital importance of steady insulin access for families and individuals managing diabetes.

An estimated 33 million individuals live with diabetes across Pakistan, with over one million depending on insulin. Acknowledging this difficulty, Novo Pakistan seeks to tackle the requirement for enduring and practical remedies to address the national diabetes crisis.

Mehtaz Sultan Khan, who serves as General Manager at Novo Pakistan, stated, Diabetes care has been at the heart of Novo for more than 100 years and delivering on that commitment remains our priority today. For people who depend on insulin, reliable access to treatment is essential. We recognise the concerns being raised and are stepping up to play our part in supporting patients in Pakistan.

While Pakistan faces an escalating diabetes crisis, the organization stays dedicated to cooperating with medical experts, government officials, and patient networks to enhance treatment quality.
